In the 60s and 70s privateers were racing with MINI Coopers designed by John Cooper Works. From there the work continued and in the 1990s John Cooper Works was asked by BMW Group to work on the new MINI project, which would ultimately replace the classic car and carry the Cooper brand into the Millennium.
Today’s ‘MINI Cooper Club Sport’ Edition, a modified racing version of the MINI Cooper, features a standard 115 bhp MINI Cooper, 4-cylinder engine with 1.6 litre displacement. It has a fully FIA-approved roll cage, a racing seat with five point racing harness, a fire extinguisher and both external and internal electronic and fuel safety cut-off switches. The car also comes with up-rated brakes, lowered and stiffened suspension with up-rated dampers and springs to ensure optimum handling under both road and race conditions.
For MINI motorsport enthusiasts, the MINI Cooper Club Sport is available from Euro Motors. It comes with a comprehensive package featuring driver training on racing and safety.
